Dinner fund launches ahead of big bang season
WITH the festive season fast approaching, it’s that time of the year when the Toti public can help feed stray animals housed at Toti SPCA by supporting the annual Animal Christmas Dinner Fund.
“Guy Fawkes Day and the fireworks season is looming, which is festive for some but not for our four-legged friends,” said fund co-ordinator, Marlene Prinsloo.
“The suffering of those who cannot speak for themselves is about to begin and Amanzimtoti SPCA is inundated with stray animals at this time of the year.
It is an immense task and they rely on donations to feed and house these animals.”
People who wish to contribute to the fund can have a short message on behalf of a pet printed in the SUN.
The fund’s contributions go towards food for the homeless, abandoned and destitute animals that are housed by the SPCA.
A record amount of over R29,000 was raised last year thanks to the generosity of the Toti public and Toti SPCA hopes to match or surpass this.
In 2013 the fund collected R18,000, which was surpassed by 2014’s amount of R25,000. Hopefully this upward trend will continue.
Send donations either to Toti SPCA or c/o M Prinsloo, 601 Strandburg, PO Box 312, Amanzimtoti, 4125. Cheques must be made out to Toti SPCA.
Alternatively, make a direct deposit into Toti SPCA’s bank account.
Details are:
- Standard Bank Prospecton,
- branch code: 057827,
- account number: 053211189.
Put the reference as ‘Christmas’ so the SPCA knows where to allocate the funds and email the amount and your message to strandburg@lantic.net or fax to 031-903-7918.
“Like I do every year, I will kickstart the fund with a donation of R200 – in memory of Misty and Honey and all the pets that so enriched my life,” said Marlene.
Toti SPCA also appeals to the public to make use of its boarding facilities. To book, contact 031-904-2424/5 or email info@spcatoti.co.za.
The public can also make use of its Christmas wrapping service at all Toti malls and shopping centres over the festive period.
